Lance had matured. Kaleb would have been more content if Lance had grown up by his side.
From Kalebs book, Lance proved to be a worthy successor, be it his presence for his sisters needs or the care for his mother, fulfilling Kalebs expectations.
Once graduating from university, Lance started working in the family business. With his remarkable capabilities, he had gained a firm foothold and won over some key supporters. At Lances admirable competence at such a young age, Kaleb found it hard to force Lance into doing anything against his wishes.
Lance, like an eagle that had learned to fly and hunt on its own, began showing signs of independence. He used business trips as a reason to travel frequently to and from Mathias.
Kaleb reluctantly accepted this, knowing Lances activities around Mathias were for Betties sake.
At the mention of her brother, Zandra then recalled Royce sitting at the main table of Lances wedding. She sighed and said, Lance was never this reckless before. My brother was foolish to let him do whatever he wanted! Im calling him back right now!
Zandra couldnt fathom why Lance would come up with such a terrible plan just to marry Bettie, the girl he desired. He didnt dare to reveal his identity yet. However, eventually, the truth would emerge.
By that time, would Bettie forgive him easily?
Actually, Zandra didnt ask much from Lances wife except for a harmonious relationship with Keilani. That was why she had considered pairing Lance with Alice.
It was just that Lance wasnt interested in Alice, so Zandra abandoned that idea.
If Bettie were just an ordinary girl from Mathias, Zandra would have been fine with it.
But Bettie held a deep grudge against Keilani. To be noted, it was a significant grudge. Even though it was all Kedilanis fault, it didnt change the situation.

It would be better if Bettie were forgiving. But the fear of sowing discord between Lance and Keilani if Bettie were vengeful haunted Zandra.
Having known Keilanis reckless nature and inability to clear up her own mess, Zandra was deadly concerned for Keilani, especially if she and Kaleb were gone. Without Lances looking out for Keilani, Keilani could be easily manipulated. Thus, Zandra felt the need to meet Bettie.

.
Kaleb shook his head. Lance simply wont come back just because you asked so.
Lances attentiveness to Keilani and Zandra was based on the condition that they did not cross the line. Clearly, Bettie, his beloved girl since schooldays, was his line.
Undeterred, Zandra still dialed Lances number.
The phone rang for a long time without an answer since Lances phone was in silent mode. He didnt feel like being interrupted during his wedding with his desired girl.
Only around thirty minutes later, having toasted with every guest at their wedding with Bettie, did Lance check his phone.
Upon seeing Zandras missed call, Lance stepped aside to the fire escape to call her back. Mom, whats going on?
His tone was so calm as if he hadnt just been at his own wedding ceremony. If Zandra hadnt seen the live broadcast of Lances wedding herself, she wouldnt have believed it.
Zandra didnt beat around the bush. Lance, I know today is your wedding, and I dont call to oppose it. But marriage is a serious commitment. Dont you think your father and I need to meet your wife? Please you bring Miss Ramirez back
Lance, not surprised, interrupted and said, Ill take her home at the right moment, but not now.
Lance, I just want you and your sister to always be at peace. Ive heard that Miss Ramirez has issues with your sister
